TOKYO– The world premiere of Ridley Scott’s Japan in a Day, the crowd-sourced film charting the recovery from the March 11, 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident, will be the Special Opening Film at this year’s Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) on October 20.

Japan in a Day is a collaboration between Scott Free Productions and Japan’s Fuji TV, and features footage sent in by the public that was recorded on March 11 this year, in a similar format to Scott’s Life in a Day and Britain in a Day projects.
